After speaking, Shen Qinghua's surroundings were quiet and quiet. Including Liu Hua, everyone frowned because of this thorny problem and began to quietly think about the solution.

And just when the advance of a group was blocked, Liu Hua and others were thinking about the solution. The breakthrough force of more than 1,200 people led by General Bin Sanyuan has quietly escaped from Taiyuan City through the north gate. And along the main road, a rapid march to the north. Unbeknownst to them, the 1,500 warriors who were lying in ambush about 2 kilometers from the north gate were waiting for them to take the bait.

Report to the commander, a group of devils came out of the city gate and were coming this way. Soon, the scouts, who had already been ambushed at the city gate, told the news to Gao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the ambush at the north gate.

"What the division commander said is really right, this group of little devils really intends to break through. Hehe, but it just happened to let me pick up a big bargain on the plateau. How about it, how many troops are in the army, and whether it is equipped with heavy weapons. Hearing the scout's report, Gao Yuan's heart was excited, and he hurriedly asked.

"The commander, about one and a half brigades of troops, the total does not exceed 1300 people. In addition, the entire unit did not have any heavy weapons other than 12 heavy machine guns. Moreover, observing through the telescope, there are dozens of soldiers gathered together, and this group of soldiers seems to be trying to protect one person. The scout hastened to tell all the things he had been instructed to do.

"Well, I've got the situation clear, you go down and rest," Takahara ordered. At the same time, my heart began to get excited. You must know that according to what the division commander Liu Hua said, the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan army must not be able to watch General Bin Sanyuan be wiped out by our army along with Taiyuan City, and they will definitely find a way to send Bin Sanyuan out of Taiyuan City. It seems that this group of enemies is General Bin Sanyuan, the supreme commander of the North China garrison of the protection army.

"Commander Li, inform all the troops and get ready for battle. In addition, the artillery cluster had to measure the firing coordinates for me in advance. When I ask for artillery support, I make sure that the first hit is made. Thinking that General Bin Sanyuan, the supreme commander of the army in North China, was about to die in his own hands, Gao Yuan was excited for a while, and ordered in a loud voice to Commander Li beside him. At the same time, he also picked up the telescope and looked at Taiyuan City, where the sound of gunfire was heard not far away.

And just when the soldiers were ready for battle, waiting for the army to burrow into their ambush circle. The commander of the army, General Bin Sanyuan, was retreating in a hurry under the protection of several soldiers. At this time, except for the military uniform on his body showing that he was a general, he could no longer see his usual lofty appearance.

"Baga, Nakata-kun, why don't you order the soldiers to light torches on such a bad road surface, how to march" The commander who tripped over the grass on the side of the road once again General Bin Sanyuan. With the help of the guards around him, he stood up and scolded the captain who was protecting him beside him.

"Hi, Your Excellency, there must be a lot of scouts from the Eighth Route Army around us. If we march with torches, we will expose the target. When the time comes, the Eighth Route Army will definitely send a large number of troops to pursue us and encircle and suppress us. I beg your Excellency to hold on for a few more hours, as long as we wait until dawn. There will be support from aircraft, and when the time comes, there will be no fear of those ghostly Eighth Route Army. Seeing General Bin Sanyuan, who was full of anger, the captain Nakata Shaozo hurriedly explained.

"Baga, Bageya Road, when I return to Beiping, I will definitely dispatch heavy troops to kill all these Eighth Route Army." The commander, General Bin Sanyuan, said fiercely, and with the help of several guards, he began to continue the difficult march.

And just when the plateau was anxiously looking in the direction of Taiyuan, waiting for the little devil to come and die. Under the light of the moon, several figures suddenly appeared in the telescope of the plateau. When I looked closely, I saw a few little devils, holding rifles with bayonets already loaded, as if they were facing a great enemy, constantly searching in the grass on both sides of the road.

Don't think about it, this must be a search party dispatched by the Japanese army. However, the little devils of this class are only interested in the grass that is less than a few tens of meters away from the road. And there was really no interest in the ambush position of the Eighth Route Army, which was hidden almost 100 meters away from the road. This made Commander Takahara's nervous heart slowly calm down, and he began to continue observing.

Under the gaze of the plateau, the little devils of this squad quickly walked through the ambush circle of the soldiers. And at this time, the enemy's brigade finally appeared in the telescope of the plateau. More than 1,000 little devils, in a two-way formation, raised heavy machine guns, and quickly ran towards their ambush circle. At the same time, in the middle of these troops, the plateau clearly found the situation that the scouts were talking about. Among the marching troops, dozens of little devils consciously or unintentionally gathered around an officer.

"It seems that General Bin Sanyuan is really in this gang of little devils. The fighters were ordered to be ready for battle, and it was forbidden for anyone to open fire to expose the target without my orders. "I saw the formation of little devils that stretched for nearly 500 meters, and General Bin Sanyuan, who was tightly surrounded by everyone. A smile appeared on the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth, and he quietly ordered to Commander Li behind him.

Just when the soldiers quietly loaded the rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns in their hands, the vanguard of the little devils finally got into the ambush circle of the fighters. This was followed by 12 heavy machine guns in the middle of the line. Slowly, more than a thousand little devils, under the gaze of Gao Yuan and others, all entered the ambush circle of the warriors.

"Start the attack" Gao Yuan did not put down the telescope in his hand, and ordered in a loud voice to Li Tuan, who was waiting for the order behind him.

"Fire" with a few commands. The woods, which had just been silent, immediately erupted into a dense burst of gunfire.

"Da Da Da" along the road, 12 heavy machine guns were lined up. At the same time as the order was given, tongues of fire were spat out almost together at the little devils on the road. The 12 tongues of fire are like 12 sickles that harvest life. At a favorable time when the Yue army had not yet reacted from the shock, 12 large holes were quickly cut out in the marching formation of the Yue army, and nearly 100 little devils fell into the strafing fire of 12 heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company in less than five seconds.

"Da da da, bang" The machine guns were followed by light machine guns and rifles in the hands of the fighters. In just an instant, the formation of the little devils, who had just marched rapidly, was covered by the sudden dense firepower network, and was completely suppressed on the road, unable to move.

"Baga, there is an ambush, there is an ambush here" As soon as he heard the gunshots, the captain of the army commanded the guard troops around General Bin Sanyuan, and quickly protected the commander General Bin Sanyuan. At the same time, he shouted a command to the soldiers around him.

To say, these brigades of soldiers who were selected by the chief of staff could not do anything else, but the speed of dodging bullets was very fast. No need to command the captain. The entire brigade, which had paid a loss of almost 200 men in this dense firepower, all lay on the ground.

"Eight grid tooth road. Two squadrons of gendarmerie were ordered to protect the safety of His Excellency the General. The rest of the troops, under the command of their respective commanders, immediately took cover, fast, fired back "saw that his troops did not pay much casualties in the first round of intensive fire from the enemy, and the captain of the brigade breathed a sigh of relief. Commanded loudly to a few heralds around him.

The dark night is very unfavorable for the soldiers who are ambushing. Because, in the dark of night, although you have very strong firepower. However, you can't find the target to shoot at, and you can't reach the sudden name of the ambush. And you, on the other hand, are constantly shooting, in front of the little devils, revealing your position.

"Kill and fire" Soon, the little devils lying on the ground, under the command of their respective squad leaders and squadron leaders, reacted from the chaos. As a unit, the squad began to return fire on the various machine-gun positions that were constantly spewing flames. In the rain of bullets that the little devils fired back, the light and heavy machine guns, which had just been spitting out tongues of fire, stopped firing one after another under the organized counterattack of the Japanese army.

"Artillery, order the artillery cluster to shoot immediately, be sure to disrupt the formation of the army, quickly" Seeing that his first round of shooting did not kill or injure many little devils. What's more, the little devil reacted from the chaos so quickly. There was a shock on the plateau.

He knew that the flames from the muzzle of his light and heavy machine guns were a living target in front of the accurate riflemen of the army. In the shortest possible time, he must let the army continue to be chaotic and continue to be the target of his machine gunners. And the only thing that could accomplish this task was the three mortar companies behind him, and when the plateau kept looking at the mortar positions in the rear, the dull sound of mortar guns ejecting the chambers finally reached his ears through the dense gunfire. Hearing the sound of the mortar being discharged, Gao Yuan's nervous heart finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and raised his binoculars again to look at the position of the Yue army. At the same time, prepare to use the fire generated by the explosion of mortar shells to observe the formation of the army and prepare for the next battle.

After a loud whistling sound, dozens of shells passed over the heads of the soldiers and quickly smashed into the highway where the Japanese troops had gathered. The whistling sound was followed by a violent explosion. In an instant, it was pitch black just now. In the sound of explosions, the flames generated by the explosions were immediately illuminated and completely appeared in front of the soldiers.

With the target, the machine gunners, who were worried about not being able to find the target to shoot, breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the fire generated by the explosion, each machine gunner seized the opportunity and quickly pulled the trigger at the place where the little devils were most concentrated. Suddenly, the little devils who had just escaped the first round of sweeps of the soldiers were beaten in front of this dense firepower net, and countless little devils fell in a pool of blood in front of this dense firepower. And more soldiers were lying on the ground, motionless.

However, the little devil lying on the ground, although he dodged the dense fire net of the soldiers, could not dodge the raining cannonballs that kept falling overhead. In the midst of round after round of explosions, the commander of the army had just organized a squad, a squadron. Before he could exert any power, he was completely scattered by shells and bullets at one time.

"This is a conspiracy on the Eight Grid Tooth Road, and the Eighth Route Army must have prepared in advance here. Baga" in the light of the fire of the explosion of the shell. When the captain saw that the more than 1,000 elite Imperial soldiers he had brought out, they fell in a pool of blood one by one under the combined blows of the opponent's artillery fire and heavy machine guns. The captain couldn't help but curse.

However, although he said so, the captain's heart was very calm. He knew that his task was not to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, but to protect His Excellency the General to reach Beiping safely. Thinking of this, the captain quickly came to the front of General Bin Sanyuan, who was strictly protected by the military police squadron.

"Your Excellency, judging from the current situation, we have been surrounded by the heavy forces of the Eighth Route Army. In order to be able to complete the task assigned to me by the commander, I will send you safely to Beiping. I have decided to send the forces of two squadrons of gendarmerie and one squadron of garrisons under your command to make a breakthrough to the north. I will take the remaining three squadrons and make a feint to the south to break through and cover your breakthrough, Your Excellency. After highlighting the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, we moved north at the convergence. Seeing General Bin Sanyuan, who was also frightened, the captain quickly said his decision.

"Yo Xi, Nakata-kun, I hope we can all break out safely. If we make a successful breakthrough, I hope Nakata-kun will be able to join me immediately. After listening to the captain's words, General Bin Sanyuan nodded and said.

"Hi, Your Excellency General, I will definitely live up to your expectations" Listening to General Bin Sanyuan's words, the captain shook his head speechlessly and said.

Soon, the little devil who was suffering under the artillery fire was divided into two under the command of the captain. However, in order to allow General Bin Sanyuan to have enough troops to break through, the captain mobilized three full squadrons and assigned them to General Bin Sanyuan. As for himself, he was the remnants of less than two squadrons with the remaining troops. As well as all the heavy machine guns left of the entire brigade, slowly moving south of the encirclement. General Bin Sanyuan, with more than 500 troops, slowly moved north.

"Commander, the little devil has divided his troops" Of course, under the reflection of the fire of the constantly exploding shells, every move on the position of the army did not escape, and the commander Gao Yuan and others who were carefully observing every move on the battlefield. As soon as the little devil divided his troops, Regiment Commander Li, who was lying beside the plateau, hurriedly reminded.

"Well, it seems that the little devil commander has a good art of war, and he also knows how to strike from side to side. Commander Li, let's judge, which side of the general commander of the army is? Seeing the little devil divide his troops, Gao Yuan asked the regiment commander beside him.

"General Bin Sanyuan, I'm sure he must be in the north, on the one hand, because there are obviously many more little devils in the north than in the south. In addition, if the little devil breaks through to the south, it will be to return to Taiyuan, which is no different from sending him to death. So, I'm sure, the commander of the little devils must be in the north. After carefully observing the two groups of little devils on the position who were slowly moving towards both sides of the ambush circle, Commander Li next to him replied affirmatively.

"Yes, that's what I mean. Regiment Commander Li ordered the reserve guard company to immediately enter the battle, reinforce the three battalions in the north, and be sure to block the breakthrough of the little devils. The order was that the artillery group divided two artillery companies to shell the little devils in the north, and one artillery company to shell the little devils who broke through in the south. Tell the artillery company commander that even if he uses up all the shells, he can't let the little devil break through. Listening to Commander Li's words, Gao Yuan nodded secretly and ordered loudly.

"Yes, Commander," Regiment Commander Li took the order.

Just when the soldiers hurriedly deployed and the artillery group began to reset the targets of the shelling, the commander of the army brigade who was responsible for the covering task had already taken all the troops in place. The remaining 8 heavy machine guns of the entire brigade were lined up in a row by order of the brigade commander and placed only 200 meters away from the positions of the fighters. At the same time, the remaining more than 300 remnants, under the command of the captain, all lined up in battle formation, lying in front of the soldiers' positions, ready to charge at any time.

"Warriors, the time has come to dedicate oneself to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. For the sake of the future of this empire, I hope that the warriors will move forward bravely and kill the Eighth Route Army in front of them. Heavy machine gun fire, kill to give." The group leader knelt behind the heavy machine gun, drew his command knife, and shouted orders to the hundreds of imperial soldiers in front of him.

"Onboard onboard da-da-da" got the order, and the little devils lying in front of the position raised their rifles in their hands and shouted loudly. At the same time, the 8 heavy machine guns that served as cover were also followed by a roar and spewed out tongues of fire. In an instant, the dense tongue of fire fired by eight heavy machine guns suppressed the four heavy machine guns on the position of the first battalion at once.

"Kill to give" saw that the firepower fired by the Eighth Route Army in the woods was obviously much weaker. The captain did not give up this opportunity, brandished the command knife in his hand, and yelled at the soldiers in front of him. Immediately, hundreds of little devils lying on the ground jumped up from the ground, patted the dense offensive formation, and launched a charge at the position of the Eighth Route Army not far away.

"Artillery company fire" Seeing that the little devil who was serving as cover was finally dispatched, Commander Li, who was guarding the position of the first battalion, did not hesitate and ordered loudly to an artillery company behind him.
